    No way I can do all time, because my tastes change. However, I guess right now it’s:

    • My neighbour Totoro
    • Grave of the Fireflies, even though I can’t watch it
    • into the spider verse
    • knives out
    • everything everywhere all at once

    The top two there never really shift but the other three do all the time.

    1. There Will Be Blood
    2. The Fabelmans
    3. Gangs of New York
    4. Memento
    5. The Dark Knight

    This is an incredibly difficult question for me, so I have to list my runners up:

    • The Prestige
    • Shawshank Redemption
    • Pulp Fiction
    • Spirited Away
    • 2001: A Space Oddysey
    • Dallas Buyers Club

    I’m probably an idiot for not including The Godfather but it’s been a long time since I saw it so I probably need to watch it again.

    3. Cinema Paradiso: For the way it shows the love for cinema.
    4. Life is Beautiful: For showing that only we control how we live our lives.

    Bring It On, Liar Liar, The Hot Chick, House Party 4, and Burn After Reading

    With exquisite taste, I embrace a diverse spectrum of films, from the captivating cheerleading rivalry and wit of “Bring It On” to Jim Carrey’s comedic brilliance in “Liar Liar,” and the hilarious escapades of body-swapping in “The Hot Chick.” “House Party 4” evokes a nostalgic charm, while the Coen brothers’ “Burn After Reading” showcases their unparalleled storytelling, leaving me captivated. This selection embodies my discerning taste and appreciation for a wide range of cinematic experiences.

    1. Once upon a time in the West
    2. Dogville
    3. Pulp Fiction
    4. American Beauty
    5. Fucking Åmal

    Top rated because of the story (all), acting (all), music (except for 2), number of awesome quotes (3 and 4) and all in all just being amazing.

    Also, since I saw someone mention it, I’d like to add that the worst movie of all time is imho 2001 A Space Odyssey. On IMDb I don’t rate movies lower than 2 stars because I have 1 exclusively reserved for 2001 ASO. Watching it has been the most boring experience of my life, which btw is saying a LOT. Punishment in hell probably shifted to eternally watching this movie, with sinners wishing to go back to when they were physically tortured. I cannot stress enough how much I dislike this movie. You can be absolute sure that my top 5 is nothing like that.

      2001 is divisive. I love that movie, but I know so many people that find it insufferably slow.

      I think it’s just too “spacious” for lack of a better term. It only presents the bare minimum in plot and focuses almost entirely on the cinematography. But just think about it in the context of 1968. This was during the height of the space race, and the film explores the core concept: what is the destiny of humanity and where did we come from? It’s so fucking massive in scope that the only way to do it justice is to just give the viewer space to digest.

      As such it asks a lot from the viewer to fill in the gaps and use the film as more of a meditation than a passive viewing experience.
